Norway...

Before my trip to Norway I thought that this country had the best white water of all Europe and probably one of the best white waters of all over the world, so my time there is to figure out that what I thought was nothing more than pure and totally true.

Voss magic place....

"Man...looks like the water levels in Voss are pretty good at the moment, you want to go???", a friend of mine asked. "Well my pocket is pretty broken but let's go anyway", I replied.

Voss to me sounds like a creek paradise. And there we were driving to the put in of the Jordaselvi, we slept right at the put in, what a beautiful spot. Next morning we were on the water running awesome rapids...the river starts up in the valley and the water is bloody cold...jejejj well we are in Norway! As soon you go down, the river quickly starts dropping with several slides and drops....perfect for us, dropping, dropping and dropping until a beautiful 12 meters drop...So all of us ran it: Max ran first and he made it look easy...then I went second, no problem at all, after me Greig, and when he popped up on the surface his boat was full of water plus his nose showing us that the drop was not that easy (deep cut after hitting his face with the paddle at the landing). Then Jeff ran it and his skirt popped up also....well that was a pretty good day for all of us. We cruised down to town and there was an extreme week competition going on but incredibly there was not a doctor in the hospital to stitch Greig's nose...amazing!!!!!!!

The next day Roundaselvi fucking cool river...

The Roundaselvi has the well known nosebreaker drop, wich is a pretty crazy waterfall. Well I was thinking of the drop all the way down. After running quallity rapids and drops we were there scouting the Nosebreaker, Henry Coetzee ran it first and on the landing his paddle was ripped out of his hand, then I ran it and I screwed the line, damn it! Then Max and Silvio ran it perfect.....
After that all of us agreed that it was time for a beer....

Stay turned for more updates from the country of waterfalls!

Until then "Vaya con rios!", Gigo
